Sikar News: Khatushyam Devotees' Pockets Will Be Empty, No More Free Parking

Failed Digital Parking Trial, Heavy Recovery from Fastag

Sikar: Devotees visiting the famous Khatushyam temple in Rajasthan are facing new financial burdens as authorities have ended the free parking system. The failed digital parking experiment has led to heavy reliance on Fastag for parking fee collection, which is reportedly three times higher than the standard rate.

Parking Charges Increase, Devotees Express Outrage

The trial of digital parking, which aimed to streamline vehicle management, failed due to technical issues and mismanagement. As a result, the administration has implemented Fastag-based parking fee recovery, creating an unexpected financial strain on devotees.

Many visitors have expressed their dissatisfaction, claiming that the new system unfairly charges higher amounts, sometimes three times the normal rate. "We come here to seek blessings, but now we are being financially burdened," said a devotee.

Temple Trust & Administration Under Pressure

The Khatushyam Temple Trust and local administration are under pressure to find an alternative solution. Reports suggest that discussions are underway to implement a fairer and more efficient parking system.

Local Businesses Also Affected

With the increased cost of parking, local shopkeepers near the temple are also witnessing a decline in business. Many visitors are now opting for shorter visits or avoiding the area altogether.

What’s Next for Devotees?

Temple authorities are expected to review the Fastag parking charges and introduce a more balanced approach soon. Until then, devotees should be prepared for higher parking fees when visiting Khatushyam.
